1.

16 years of experience working at the Academy.

Time, which always flows, passes by.

Always the same cabin.

Always the same work and workplace.

Days pass by freely but equally peacefully.

Living in a time that repeats infinitely gives one the fear of walking down an endless path.

Yesterday’s memories are no different from today’s memories.

Tomorrow’s memories are no different from today’s memories.

A life as unstimulated as the vast, calm ocean will eventually drive me crazy.

That’s why.

I decided to work at the academy because I was so scared of the life I was being forced to live.

Because observing different students and their stories from afar will be a source of entertainment in my free life.

Because for me, who is slowly losing my mind, seeing the students’ joy will be the only stimulation.

It’s like this.

“Kang!”

“Eww! Don’t ask!”

Today, I encountered Taina in a beastly state in the river.

The term beast state is too long to describe, so let’s call it beast Taina.

Anyway, Geumsu Taina’s condition today was not very good.

“Keep on going! Kkeep on going!!!”

“Hey, what’s wrong! Today is even more of a hassle! ”

Because of the markedly increased aggression, he kicks me or tries to bite me with his fangs.

The trout I liked didn’t even bite me and instead stuck its teeth into me.

And since he struggles more than usual, it’s hard to subdue him without getting hurt.

I think we should take you to the cabin first.

There’s something I want to do before that.

“Kaaa!”

“You bastard!”

-Whack!

Today’s reward for labor was decided to be Taina’s soft ball-shaped tongs.

When I put my face in my hands and squeezed it, my cheeks moved around in a soft way.

“Kkiiing…? Kkaeaaeng…!?”

“You’re so cute at times like this.”

They say that babies are the most lovable when they are sleeping.

Even now, I think Taina’s face is the cutest when she’s still and frowning.

-Soft and fluffy

“Kaaa …

I was fiddling with the ball here and there.

Today, I feel half resentment for resisting me and half selfish desire to touch my cheek.

‘Hmm. I guess this isn’t much different from touching a drunk girl.’

Are you unconscious?

yes.

Has a person become a dog?

Yes. Foxes are also canines.

“…I’m sorry.”

“Kang…?”

I was bad.

No matter what, it prickles my conscience to treat a drunk guy like that.

I pulled my hand out that was enjoying the little things.

After a brief apology, we decided to move Taina to the cabin.

This is a position where you can lift Taina stably by supporting her buttocks with your hands and forearms and supporting her back with your hands.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Kang! Kaaaeng! Kang! Kang! Kang! ”

“Why is it like this today? Is it worse than usual? Ouch!”

I’ve seen him pinch me playfully, but this time he bit my neck hard enough to leave a mark.

Of course, as soon as I got bitten, I had to worry about whether Tyna’s fangs were okay, but it hurts.

First, I endured the pain and headed to the cabin.

…

“Hmm… why did that happen?”

Yuli was still lying in bed, so Taina couldn’t be laid down.

Thanks to that, Taina is curled up in my arms.

But even as the sun nears its zenith, he opens his eyes wide and looks at me without falling asleep.

Baring his fangs, with obvious hostility.

He’s playing with the comb unconsciously, but he doesn’t show any signs of falling asleep.

‘Should I say that the beastification has become more severe?’

These days, I feel like my identity as a beast like Taina is getting stronger.

Of course, I don’t become a Taina every single day… but I think the duration of Taina’s lifespan is gradually increasing.

He continued to ponder with a serious expression.

The signs are ominous.

…

“…Huh?”

“Huh? Are you awake?”

Oh, what is it?

I was so lost in thought that I didn’t even realize that Taina had fallen asleep.

And I also forgot to move it to the chair next to me when I fell asleep.

“Gyah, gyaaaah! What, what are you doing!”

-hook!

Slow down.

Taina jumped up, looking dumbfounded as she reflexively dodged the punch.

And then he looked around and finally seemed to have figured out the situation.

“…Today too?”

“Yeah.”

Taina laughed in disbelief.

“No, something feels strange. Before, I had vague memories, but today… I closed my eyes and opened them again, and now, this is what I see.”

“You must have slept well, unlike usual.”

“I don’t remember. I don’t think I had a dream.”

Hmm.

Taina also seems to vaguely feel that something is different than usual.

There are many things I want to say in this more serious situation than I thought, but it is too late now.

“I want to tell you about what happened today… but I don’t think there’s enough time right now. First, to the Academyㅡ”

“Just a moment.”

“Huh?”

-Sniff sniff sniff…

He sniffs his white pajamas like a dog sniffs.

I had a strong feeling that something was wrong, and unfortunately, that feeling was not wrong.

“When I don’t remember… What did you do to me!!! Why do my clothes smell like you!”

Although it was hard to see clearly, its tail was standing straight up and it seemed to have some strange thoughts as it took a quick step back.

He was screaming so loudly that even Yuli, who was sleeping inside the cabin, could hear him.

‘This is ridiculous.’

Where did that self-proclaimed femme fatale vibe go when she tried to lure me in?

Is this the appearance of a virgin with no experience with men?

“…You’re being so resistant today. I couldn’t help it.”

Although there was some selfishness involved.

I kept my mouth shut because I didn’t want to scratch and make a fuss.

“Ugh, ugh… Okay! First of all, thank you, oppa!”

Taina seemed embarrassed by her own disgrace as she hung her head and ran away.

It means that he left without being able to say what he wanted to say because he looked so embarrassed.

“Hey, over there!”

When I tried to talk to her with the intention of making an appointment for the afternoon, it was already too late.

As I was running my hands through my hair in frustration, I heard the door open behind me.

-Squeak…

“… went?”

“Hey. What’s wrong, Yuli? Why did you wake up so late today?”

I sat on a chair outside the cabin and looked up at Yuli.

“I don’t know.”

“That’s blunt. I’ve been waking up so quickly lately.”

Recently, Yuli used to wake up early, but recently she started waking up late again.

He didn’t even think about getting out of bed until he came back after washing up.

“What do you want me to do?”

Huh?

Are you upset because I gave you a brief, venomous glare?

I thought so, but Yuli reached out her hand to me.

“Give me a comb.”

“I’ll comb it for you. Sit down.”

“Just give it to me.”

“Okay, okay.”

He took the comb out of his pocket and handed it to Yuli.

I feel like it’s my fault for being short and insincere.

-widely!

He grabbed the ivory comb and turned around.

‘Are you cleaning the comb?’

Although I couldn’t see her because her back was covered, Yuli flinched and then thrust her butt into me.

I spread my legs and gave Yuli a place to sit.

-Flutter

He sat down in my arms absentmindedly and handed me an ivory comb over his shoulder.

“Look at that. Wouldn’t it be better if I combed it for you?”

“…shit.”

Even though his words were sharp, it was clear to me that he was hitting me in the back of the head.

The horse is still accustomed to my combing, but the body is honest.

-Crash, crash…

…

After combing for a while, I neatly organized my hair that had become disheveled overnight.

The more I look at Yuli’s well-groomed ash-gray hair, the more it looks like a sharp knife.

“It’s all rained. Now get up, Yuli. We should get ready for work too.”

“…”

Yuli leaned into my arms, not paying attention to what I said.

Instead of just leaning in, he started to rub his head against my chest.

“Huh?”

It’s like watching a cat rubbing its body against the feet of its owner as he heads to work.

Our Yuli has a bit of a quirky and violent personality, but she actually has a lot of cute sides to her.

I can’t help but laugh at Yuli’s whining and struggling.

And then he put his arms around the cute Yuli and hugged her tightly.

“Oh my~ You don’t want to go to work? Well, the life of a broom is tiring~.”

“Yeah. I’m tired.”

Although he responds coldly to my playful remarks.

-Tuk, tuk.

Pull both wrists briefly, but firmly, to express your intention.

I thought she wanted to be hugged, so I hugged her so tightly that I held her in my arms.

“Ah, ahhh… Don’t be so clingy.”

-Sarak saraak

There is a rustling sound of clothes as you writh about, accompanied by a disgusted sound.

It seemed like he was trying to get out of my arms, but all he did was struggle weakly, like a baby throwing a tantrum.

If you really raise your arms to let it go…

-Sneak

Yuli gently tugs on my collar, pulling my arm back into place.

It’s a bonus that he looks at me with a fresh face.

“…”

And then, as if he knew I was joking, he pouts, expressing his disappointment and embarrassment.

“Phew!”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Yuli, who was cute yet insignificant.

Yuli clenched her teeth and waved her arms as if she was overcome with embarrassment at my laughter.

“Hey, hey! Let go! Let go! I have to go to work! I’m going to be late!”

“Ah, what’s wrong~ Instead of going to work today, let’s hang out together? What do you think?”

“…Really?”

As I spoke to her as if I was trying to appease a child who didn’t want to go to school, Yuli hesitated and looked up at me.

At the same time, her thin eyebrows rise upwards, asking if it’s real.

Another cute point was that, unlike her face that didn’t move much, her eyebrows just went up.

“No, that’s a lie. You have to go to work, Yuli.”

“Hey!”

This prank was a bit too much, so Yuli let out a snarl.

-puck!!!

“Ouch!”

He also threw a one-inch punch at my side.

Even as I was curled up and crying out in pain, I had to worry about Yuli’s anger.

Because he was glaring at me, grumbling, as if he hadn’t been able to get rid of all his anger.

So, an unusual morning passed and I went to work at the academy as usual.
